I played Kirby's Epic yarn with my brother yesterday. It's still a super pretty game. And there's still a sense of urgency despite the immortality thing because its horrifying watching all your beads scramble and then you and your co-op buddy go into animal instinct mode trying to get them back.

I cannot stop laughing, and the fact that I'm annihilating enemy ships with part of a single volley only adds to the amusement. I can't stop laughing at this, picture and concept both.

You could have saved some weight by omitting the engine. Just fire the guns when you want to go somewhere.

Randalor posted:I keep hearing about the warship gunner games are (I think they were released in North America as the Naval Ops games?). Are they actually good and fun to play, or is it a broken mess that's only redeemed by the "What the gently caress?" aspects of the ship building? I've only played Warship Gunner 2, but it really holds up well. You can think of it as basically being an arcade naval sim crossed with an RPG levelup mechanic: beat missions, get experience, spend experiencing on unlocking new "skills" (buildable ship components), choose which skills to slot into your ship. Except that that latter step is this big interlocking system of constraints and tradeoffs. The component has to physically fit onto the ship, it has to not overlap with other components, its mass adds to your displacement (reducing your speed unless you fit more turbines/reactors, which take up their own space), it may require increasing your armor coverage which also adds to your displacement, and every ship has a different max displacement and different hull shape which can allow for different loadouts. The Mark VI Japanese battleship has lower health than the Mark V but has a higher max displacement and wider hull which makes it possible to fit three large main guns side-by-side, for example. The arcade part of the game also holds up well. There's a campaign with a fairly shallow but non-intrusive story tacked onto it, and it can be replayed in New Game+ with alternate, more powerful enemy layouts. You get a level select, some silly bonus missions, a boss rush, etc. The postgame can get grindy as gently caress (for example, one unlockable requires destroying 999 of a ship type that shows up in quantities of at most 4 per mission), but there's not a lot of point to the grinding since there's no horrible superboss that you need the grindy unlockables for. The biggest complaint I have about the game is that a lot of the weapons end up being of very little use. In New Game+ you unlock this big ol' pile of laser weapons, which look really cool, but unlike the main deck guns, you can only fire one of them at a time, so they have pathetic damage output. There's also very little reason to not use the biggest battleship you possibly can, which makes destroyers, cruisers, and carriers fall by the wayside pretty quickly.

I 100%'d that with my son a couple of years ago and it was absolutely delightful and charming, with the perfect amount of challenge. Yoshi's Wooly World is very much on the same wavelength, maybe a bit more difficult, but I really recommended it if you haven't played it yet.

Pillars of Eternity 2 lets you import your saves or choose decision-packs to carry over from the first game. Normally this wouldn't be anything to get too excited about but then I noticed the final option: Like game how could I pick anything else after that description.

So I was running a mission in Assassin Creed Syndicate where you're being pursued by a bunch of horse carriages. I took the fairly logical step of shooting at the horses, rather than the carriages, and cleared up quite well. Suddenly, an achievement unlocked: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

Are they actually good and fun to play, or is it a broken mess that's only redeemed by the "What the gently caress?" aspects of the ship building? There are Naval Ops: Warship Gunner 1 & 2, and Naval Ops: Warship Commander. Commander is a strategy game and not really as interesting. I think they are fun games, but they are kinda broken messes at the same time. You have to do a lot of grinding for money/items to unlock ship components, and there missions that require specific components to finish, and if you don't have them, its time to grind. But, its fun to play, and even more enjoyable to throw together some hilariously dumb ship and run around dunking on the AI. One of the downsides is 3/4 of the things you unlock in game are worthless, since nothing competes with going with as many main guns as possible. Also if you kinda like to nerd out with WW2 ships, you can see what happens if someone made an Atlanta-class cruiser as a battleship. I think I had something like 40 dual mount 5" guns on it, and with later upgrades, I could fire about 2 rounds a second from each gun.

Len posted:Y'all don't remember the PS2 era and it's millions of shoverware games? Like I haven't been surprised by the fact a single one of those games exists it's more surprising that someone is playing them. The real question: are they actually good games or is Bio just so broken they seem good? PS2 shovelware, tie-ins and budget basket games contain some of the most fun I've had playing games. And before you say it's because you were a kid (and I was) a lot of them still hold up after all these years. Bioenchanted sure as hell wouldnt be posting about them if they weren't, so I take his post history as vindication.

Having reinstalled Morrowind again, I'm loving some of the little fluff touches in this game. Like how House Telvanni, a member of which you have to visit during the main story, are such wizard supremacist assholes that they build their houses without stairs and if you can't fly, well then gently caress you you not-flying peasant.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I like Kratos in the new God of War. He's not a great dad, but he's trying. He's harsh with Atreus, but he's trying to prepare him for life, and trying to leave his past behind him. He's actively trying to be a better person (not that he'd have to actually try very hard), but the life he'd chosen prior makes that difficult. I also like the axe. Throwing it and having it return during combat is satisfying, even if the combat itself isn't the best.

There’s definitely a group out there who thinks Kratos went Entirely Too Far in the original games and they will never forgive him, but considering it’s a video game and not real life it’s a little silly. And finding this kind of silly, by the way, means I am extremely angry about it.  Actual thread content: Killing Floor VR has an easter egg and a trophy unlock from jerkin’ off a fire axe. GOTY.

That was like the entire point of the first game and having not played the third I dunno what note the whole series ended on. I like Nu GOW as far as Kratos being kinda lovely but still having likable elements.
